Awake from the Winter's Slumber
« on: May 08, 2013, 04:02:39 am »
Pulled the Shirley out from the depths of the garage. She was the last one to get commissioned for service this year. Added some tranny oil, some engine ice, and a splash of fuel. She took a couple of extra kicks but she fired up. Took a spin around the block - I love this bike!! She is a beaut!

A link to the video if you can. And looking at these pictures just cost me more polish time on my swing arm! Thanks Rider I did a quick polish job and got an amateur at best shine on my stock swinger but seeing the shine on yours is gonna make me sand down and do better! Dang you!

Thanks guys..........I appreciate the feedback.

I really do love this quad. I wish I had room for more of them. I would start a Zilla Rescue if I had the time and money.

Some Vids:





This is when I first got this 500 running after the restoration.

Ain't ever seen it......but I have heard it.
